PW-TR100 : POWER UNIT

Proper use of the CatEye POWER UNIT

Observe the following instructions for safe usage.

Warning!!!

• Do not concentrate on the data while riding. Always be sure to ride safely.
• If any cable is damaged, do not continue to use it. Contact our product service

department for repair.

CAUTION !

• Avoid leaving the main unit / Power unit in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
• Do not disassemble the main unit, power unit, battery unit, or sensors.
• Regularly check the positions of the magnet and the speed/cadence sensors and make

sure that they are securely mounted.

• Do not use paint thinner or rubbing alcohol to clean the unit.
• Do not subject the main unit, power unit, battery unit, or sensors to strong impact;

take care also to prevent any of them from falling.

• When using the power unit in the open air, be sure to cover the PC terminal of the

power unit with the supplied rubber cap.

Power sensor (BB set)

Before installing the bottom bracket, please check that the type of bottom bracket (english or italian) is
compatible with your frame. Please make sure you are using a Campagnolo crankset with this Power Unit.
You will need a Campagnolo BB tool to complete the installation. If you need related components, use
Campagnolo components.

CAUTION !

• When installing the Power Unit, we strongly recommend that you take your bicycle to

your local pro shop or mechanic. It is recommended that a technician with specific ex-
pertise carry out this installation; otherwise the Power Unit or frame, or both, may be
damaged.

• The power sensor is manufactured using high-precision processing technology. Fur-

thermore, damaged cables cannot be repaired. Please handle the sensor and cables
with care.

• The power sensor must be installed on the crank in a particular direction. If it is in-

stalled incorrectly, it may shift the power-related values and affect accuracy. (Refer to
the accompanying “Installing the unit on your bicycle”.)

NOTE:

If the power sensor has been used for an extended period, power-related values may
shift and affect accuracy. Make sure to carry out calibration periodically using the Power
select option on the main screen. Before important measurements especially, it is rec-
ommended that calibration be carried out.

Heart rate sensor

Warning!!!

• Pace maker users should never use this device.
• Do not leave any battery within the reach of children, and dispose of them cor-

rectly. If a battery is swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

NOTE:

The heart rate transmitter has a maximum and minimum transmission distance. Make
sure that the distance between the transmitter and main unit is between 20 and 80 cm at
all times to ensure proper transmission. If the distance is less than 20 cm, the signal will
be too strong for proper reception.
Signals from the heart rate sensor can be received with the main unit attached to the
power unit. These signals cannot, however, be received by the main unit alone.

CAUTION !

• The following objects and places may generate strong electromagnetic wave and inter-

ference, which may result in incorrect measurement:
1. TV, PC, radios, motors/engines, or in cars and trains.
2. Railroad crossings and near railway tracks, around television transmitting

stations and radar bases.

• Avoid using the main unit together with other cordless devices. Doing so may result in

transmission interference.

• Consult a doctor if any part of the HR strap results in a rash.
• Do not twist or pull the heart rate sensor using unnecessary force.
• Like all products, the heart rate sensor has a limited lifetime, and may stop functioning

after extended usage.
If you have any problems receiving heart rate data, it may be time to replace the heart
rate sensor.
